8. The ratio of students in Arts, Science and Commerce Faculties is 5: 4: 3. If the number of student in Science Faculty is 236, find the number of students in Arts and
Commerce Faculties.
​

Arts=295, Commerce=177

Step-by-step explanation:

That the three subjects have a common ratio implies that there is some common factor between them that relates to the actual number of students in each area, so 5:4:3 means 5x:4x:3x for some value of x

We know that there are 236 science students, so 4x = 236 or x = 59

so the number of arts students is 5(59) and the number of commerce students is 3(59)

Arts = 5*59 = 295

Commerce = 3*59=177
